Rockin' Rogue Red
Hello Beauties!
With Thanksgiving about a week away, I notice many of my girlfriends scampering around for a chic Holiday look for when spending time with their families. Although Fall Fashion week is well behind us, fall makeup is always trendy, mostly for the ease of it. One classic look I absolutely adore but never dared to try, is a bold red lip with a clean winged liner.
I have recently mastered the art of winged liner, as you may have probably noticed from my previous blogpost on achieving perfect winged liner, however I was still skeptical about the whole bold lip trend. Nevertheless, I sucked it up, and decided "What the heck? It can't be worse than my illuminated pimple stunt." But that's another story for another day.
So, anyways, thus began my exodus for the "perfect" universal red lipstick. I very quickly realized, there is no such thing as a universal red lipstick that's going to suit everyone. Everyone is different, and by default, so is their "perfect" red lipstick. But with that being said, I firmly believe there is a perfect shade of red lipstick for everyone. If you haven't found one yet or you are too scared — just like I was — then you simply haven't tried hard enough.
So in an attempt to make your hunt easier, I have comprised a list of my top ten favorite red lipsticks. Enjoy:)
 |
| Chanel Rouge Allure "Pirate" $35 This iconic lipstick is a ladylike blue-based red with an intense color payoff and a satin finish |
 |
| Clinique Chubby Stick "Two Ton Tomato" $17 Packed with butters, oils and antioxidants to keep lips soft, full and protected against the elements this is a lighter red, perfect for glossy daytime chic. |
 |
| Giorgio Armani Lip Maestro "The Red" $33 In my opinion it's kind of amazing. |
 |
| MAC Matte Lipstick "Lady Danger" $16 This bright orange red is a contentious choice since many will argue that Russian Red or Ruby Woo (both blue based reds) are the more famous MAC shades. However, if you are a person who loves bold warm reds, this is the color for you. |
 |
| NARS Hardwired Lipstick "Deadly Catch" $26 Just released as part of their holiday collection, this limited edition, cool toned crimson has a high sheen finish. |
 |
| Rouge Dior "Ara Red" $35 This elegant statement red feels both classic and modern. The bright color has warm undertones and a luxe satiny finish. |
 |
| Tarte Cosmetics Glamazon Pure Performance 12-Hour Lipstick "Fierce" $24 Sometimes red lipstick can be drying, but this one is so rich with mango, avocado, and Shea butter that your pout will never be parched. |
 |
| YSL Rouge "Pur Couture" $35 A hot new contender for my attention is the rich, glossy red from YSL. How I have survived without this lipstick all this time I just don't know. It's a YES please for me. |
 |
Benefit Hydra Smooth Lip Color "Dare Me" $19
A fun flattering lipstick enriched with Shea, mango butter, and vitamin E, this super moisturizing lipstick will absolutely double up as a winter lip savior. |
 |
| Bobbi Brown Creamy Matte Lip Color "Red Carpet" $26
This new rich bright red goes on creamy but dries matte, and the best part is that it won't budge for eight hours.
